L. & R. 1T Thursday, October 7, 1948 Don't Phone V. A. Tells Baffled Vets In an effort to head off the usual fall rush of telephone and personal inquiries concerning subsistence checks, the Utah regional office of the Veterans Administration today cited the utter impossibility of processing the large volume of enrollments in a single month and warned that calls from veterans or their dependents will be useless until at least 60 days following the beginning of school. Calls Delay E. A. Littlefield, manager, stated that such calls in the past have taken as many as ten persons from the job of getting out checks, and has served only to further delays. Under new policy these workers will be kept on the job and no cases will be run down individually until the 60 days have elapsed. The manager explained that the VA will process payments as rapidly as possible, with pay rolls being scheduled every few days beginning in October. A majority of subsistence checks will be sent out the first of November, with heavy rolls also scheduled for November 5th and 10th. Payments Staggered Since payments will be made on a staggered basis, veterans are reminded that just because their friends might have received checks there is no reason to assume that their own cases are being neglected. Littlefield also pointed out that students have been repeatedly warned to report to schools financially prepared to get along without subsistence for at least two months because the VA simply does not have the personnel to do the job any sooner. Signpost Editors Now on U Staff Two former Signpost editors are now on the editorial staff of the Utah Chronicle. University of Utah daily student newspaper. The Sign-posters are Phil Tunks who now edits the Monday edition of the Chronicle and Dick Layman who edits the Wednesday paper. Both were Signpost editors last year. Mr. Tunks and Mr. Layman were responsible for the ail-American rating won by the Signpost for the first half of last year. Rating for the second half of last year has not yet been received. Sophs Indict Freshman Delinquents Don E. Jones, prosecuting attorney, won his case for the sophomore class against Jay Jensen, defense attorney for the frosh class, October 7, before Judge DeeWard Hock. No competent froshie could be found so the renowned Jensen was prevailed upon to take the case. Freshmen were on trial for mis- deameanors and felonies com mitted against upper-classmen dur ing freshman week. Sentences were read to the froshies representing their class by the ballif, Doug Toone. Please Sophomores Bonnie Bowerbank pleased the sophomores with a tap dance but Betty Ross was incapable of playing her piano solo sometimes she forgot to play the notes. Three girls were given the maxi mum penalty of jumping to their destruction from a high table sur rounded with broken glass. Some how they twisted their directions and lit on a soft, unsharp mat. Bad Accompaniment Peggy Thomas gave a beautiful rendition of a song but had some trouble with her accompanist. Lowel Felt had no talent except his black hair on his legs so the revengeful sophomores took it. Phyliss Hale tried to make am-mends by giving a reading. In honor of the sophomore class, the frosh toss was held October 4, at Lester park. The highlight of the evening was the hay-pitching contest between the frosh class and sophomore class which was ao claimed a tie by President Dixon, who acted as judge.

Kelly, workshop NO SCHOOL TOMORROW Xo classes will be held tomorrow, Friday, in order that the Weber college staff may attend UEA meetings in Salt Lake City, President Henry A. Dixon has announced.Weber Host Oct, 28 J. C. Students Weber college will be host to junior college students from six states during the intermountain junior college convention to be held here Oct. 28-30, Jack Critchlow, student body president, announced this week. Goodwill Confab The confab, designed to promote goodwill among the colleges of the region through discussion of mutual problems, is expected to include delegates from Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. Pheonix, Mesa, Carbon, Dixie, and B.A.C. junior colleges have so far accepted invitations, and others are expected to enroll for the convention soon. Discuss Problems Among the problems to be discussed, Critchlow said, are those pertaining to student government, assemblies, awards, athletics, and publications. This is the first time Weber college has been host to the convention. Student body officers, aided by Roily Robinson and Pat Casey, are handling all phases of arrangements for the event. Faculty Ladies Unit Ho!ds First Meet The first meeting of the Weber College Faculty Women was held Monday night at the Weber college LDS Institute. Donna Jones Parkinson, a former actress and guest speaker for the evening, read a play, "The Fatal Weakness," to the group. Afterwards refreshments were served by the hostesses. The Dorian singers, directed by Poland Parry, sang two songs. Officers are Mrs. Clarisse H.

This type of play, which took the play to the people rather than the people to the play, originated in London during the sixteenth century prior to the origination of the inside theatre. The plays were presented in crowded market places and at busy intersections, Mr. Kelly explained. He stated that "As far as we know street plays have never been presented in the United States before." Pavement Scenery Through the cooperation of the Ogden city police and Ogden city commissioners, the procedure will be to block off a city block in a residential district, set up the scenery on the pavement, and present the show. No stage platform will be used, and a special low scenery, built to facilitate transportation has been designed and constructed by Carl White of the speech department.The play, "Box and Cox," was first presented in the Royal Lyceum Theater in London, November 1, 1847. The play, according to Mr. Kelly, falls into the classification of what we now call melodrama, but differs in that it was not originally a serious "villian and hero" play but was intended as a comedy by John Madison Morton, author of the play. "The play is full of complications, mistaken identities, and a great deal of general hokum," Mr. Kelly stated. And in case you think you are being original when you pull the old adage "heads I win, tails you lose," Mr. Kelly stated that the phrase found its beginning t!ox and Cox years ago. over one hundred Cast Members The cast for "Box and Cox" Include Jay Jensen who will characterize James Cox, a journeyman hatter of the old school; Don Soel-berg, a journeyman printer; and Mary Ann Wyatt, an accomodating landlady.
